$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

The price increase is insane. That does not seem to scale in comparison with what you'll get in return over a regular PS5, especially if you're gonna be forced to buy the digital editions from the PS store, which are outside of the sales often the most expensively priced versions too, I've practically only bought second-hand discs for my PS5 because of that.

So either games will start running at higher framerates on real 4K, like 60FPS and up. Or developers will get lazy and stop bothering to optimise for the older generation of PS5, which will then be an excuse to upgrade to the more expensive edition to play at 4K and/or 60FPS.

I really hope the latter won't be a thing for the sake of both players and game development, there's been enough unoptimised shit lately and I hope we can move forward again.

That optimization part is what worries me. I still remember games like Control & Cyberpunk being basically unplayable unless you had a PS4 Pro.

Yep, people have rose tinted glasses but GTA V had a massive pop in issue on the consoles it released, the proper version was the PS4 one. Or PC.

SEVEN HUNDRED US DOLLARS!

Sony costumers need to remind them of the PS3.

They need to pump out more games to justify this. I see no reason to upgrade as mine already sits and collects dust. The controller is super awesome tho, use it all the time for my PC.

[-] 60fpsrefugee@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Sony thinks so too, which is why they increase the controller's price, lol.

Is there an eli5 on how "ai upscaling" is less (or even equally) technologically demanding than just putting in better hardware?

Not really on topic, but AI upscaling is no joke. It's actually very useful and saves alot processing power. Same with the extra fps, making a 30fps into a 60fps with ease.

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?

It seems like there's no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.

I do feel for Sony's PR teams. Trying to explain the concept of visual improvements in 4K over Youtube's increasingly vaseline-smeared compression is an impossible task.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

What game would even justify that price tag lol and no disk tray.

[-] poshcrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

gta 6 gets delayed... sony releases this early to sell more ps6's ?

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I can't see how this is worth it for anyone. Are there even games that are pushing the current PS5?

No disc drive either.

[-] Z3k3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

No disc drive either.

I'm out
